Famous quotes containing the word youth:

    If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind. Each crisis seems final, simply because it is new.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    That is the way of youth and life in general: that we do not understand the strategy until after the campaign is over.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    A tory youth is a youth speculating on his future.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)
